[Phoenix] Installation and status

[Johannes Brunen]

Hello,



I'm currently using wxPython with Python 2.7 and would like to make the
transition to Python 3.4.x on windows 7 64 bit.

I did try to install the Phoenix port with pip from
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/ with

the following commandos



pip install -U --pre -f http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/
wxPython_Phoenix

pip install --allow-external --allow-unverified py -f
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/ wxPython_Phoenix

pip install --allow-external wxPython_Phoenix wxPython_Phoenix



However, it does not work. Can anyone give me the ultimate correct call
for installation of wxPython Phoenix into a clean windows Python 3.4.x
setup?



Additionally, I would like to ask about the status of the transition of
wxPython to Phoenix. What is working and what is still pending?



With best regards,

Johannes

Not very useful, no? Did you get any error messages?

Not the "ultimate correct call" but it works for me:-) :
pip install -U --pre -f http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/
wxPython_Phoenix

Note the space after the last "/" and wxPython_Phoenix

Doing this regularly on Python 3.4 (originally this was a clean install)
and Python 2.7 both 32bit version but running on Windows 8.1 64 bit and
I also used on Linux Mint with Python 3.4.

Very much work in progress, especially in the wx.lib space, see PR's
here: https://github.com/RobinD42/Phoenix/pulls

- 'wx.aui' is not ported and not sure it will be ported, but there is
'wx.lib.agw.aui' as a drop in replacement

Basically if it shows in the doc
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/main.html then it is ported and
should work with the exception of 'wx.lib' stuff, you need to check the
PR's mentioned above and they have a "Tags:" entry at the beginning of
the module to show it's status -

As it did for me :-)
